[nagdu] An airline question

[Michael Hingson]

Debbie,

You already have received several good comments. All I will add is that
under the regulations a guide dog cannot block the main aisle. Personally, I
use non bulkhead seats and put Africa under the seat in front of me facing
from front to back. I have seen 100LB dogs assume this position. 


Best,


Michael Hingson

Subject: [nagdu] An airline question

Hi all, someone in the National Federation of the Blind of Washington sent
out an email asking if there are any regulations that say that dogs cannot
sit in aisle seating.  Does anyone know if there are such regulations? They
claimed that in the case of evacuation his dog would block the window seat
passenger from getting out.  This was apparently on a Jet Blue flight from
New York to Seattle.  Since I prefer the window seat, I've never had this
question asked of me.  And I have had to sit in the middle.  
So I would have blocked the person by the window, using Jet 
Blue's logic.  So any help I  could get on this would be great.    
Peace,    Debby
